Curtain and carpet colour for yellow room?

Question

I have just painted our small bedroom a light yellow (Dulux Wild Primrose), any ideas on what colour curtains and carpet?

Answer 1

I always like blue with yellow, but don't get a blue carpet. Try a neutral colour for the floor and make a statement with blue curtains.

Answer 2

you may do a eco-friendly, gentle seafoam or some thing alongside the strains of a coral color. some thing in the orange, terracotta relatives may look fantastic. A darker color does no longer make a room look smaller, inspite of what maximum folk imagine. once you've homestead windows and robust lights it will be superb. you should use throw rugs in browns, oranges, vegetables as accents to eliminate from the boring carpet. I had a similar color carpet in an old homestead and that i painted the walls a pastel eco-friendly. I had white trim. I used darkish blue and chocolate bedding. It gave the room a warmth, cottage like (New England) experience. Darker throw rugs gave the floor some progression. In any such case, you may position some small rugs over carpet. this can look superb.

Answer 3

You don't want to have 5 different sharp colors in a room, specially if it is small. The colors need to flow. If you walk into a room and something catches your eye immediately, it means it doesn't belong there.

I would go with neutral carpet and dark yellow curtain (a couple of shades darker than the walls )

Answer 4

I would do a light colored carpet in a nuetral shade and then somewhere on the floor use an area rug with yellow and accent colors to pull the room together. In a yellow room, I always found these colors worked very well..blue, darker shade of yellow, pink..very light pink, also green but, that seemed to work only with using a floral pattern with flowers, and of course for a real statement you can go black, but, i don't recommend that move unless you want a bumble bee look..LMAO..and then there is always white.

Answer 5

I just painted our bedroom. Two adjoining walls are a pale sage green and two are a soft butter yellow. White trim. The drapes are lemon grass ( a shimmery greeny goldy with hints of brown. It looks fabulous. I will get an area rug with shades of those colors. I can change the accent colors. There are many co-ordinating shades that work with it, and some bright ones do, too, to punch it up.

Answer 6

I would go for a neutral carpet, something cream with cream curtains with a yellow trim. But when our living room was yellow on the top we had a terracotta carpet and pale terracotta curtains.

Answer 7

carpet depends on the traffic whether you go light to make the room bigger and have a more airy feel or darker for animals and traffic. after you have decided on the carpet the curtains should be something to mix the paint and carpet to together.

Answer 8

Hi there,There should only be 3 main colours in a room,other wise it can get a little crazy and messy.Are you changing your bedding? or is that staying the same colour and as you didn't say,it leaves it as a mystery.Cream will leave it looking odd so i would take a colour like pale geen,or grey,then take the third colour from the bedding.

Answer 9

Dulux Wild Primrose

Answer 10

hi, i'm an assistant designer... perhaps i can help, first question is what sort of effect are you looking for? This is the first step really, whether you want to contrast with the colour, tone with it, or harmonise. On a personal level, I'd go with something pale, such as an easy pale grey or cream. You can't really go wrong with these sort of colours.
